Darlo_Nick My life on the forum Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 1,845 Darlo / Leeds	Just a quick question for everyone - do you reckon my 3 year old brake pads and discs will be ok for the weekend taking into account the tracktime? There still appears to be plenty of life in them. I was going to get involved with the groupbuys for EBC pads and discs but was planning on waiting a month or two (it's been a tough month with tax, service and MOT ). Thinking maybe I should bring them forward a bit. Me and my mate are planning on driving down to Monaco through the alps after too......... Last edited by Darlo_Nick; 31/05/2010 21:33.

Those that need to be posted out will be going out today and tomorrow. You will see that the tickets cover admission to the circuit, we will need to go to the secretariat on track to collect stickers and sign paperwork for the track sessions. 16VT and X1/9 1500 We must all do our part for the planet.
